Asoon Lesson 1:
Aren't you tired of seeing "Abraham", "Ebrahim", or "Ibrahim"
for the same name. Consonant letters "B", "R",
"H", and "M" are the same in all of them and only the vowels
change. In Asoon they would look: "AIb&rIhIm&",
"Aeb&rIhim&", "Aib&rIhiM&"
respectively. Asoon unique feature is how to use Arabic diacritics
situated between consonants to create one single shape of word. What about
"Omar Khayyam" in English and "Omar Chajjam" in
German. What if we write "Aomwr Xwy`Im&"
with Asoon alphabet and eliminate the confusion?

Lets try 4 different names that are all made from Arabic Roof of "
حمد - Hamada". They are: Muhammad, Hamed, Hamid and
Hemad. They have 4 different meanings that are all derived from
"Hamada" root. In Asoon with respect to their root "hwmwdw"
they can be
written: Mohwm`wd&> HImed&> Hwmid&>
andHemId&.

Asoon has borrowed both Latin and Arabic Alphabets to create
its new alphabet and it reads from left to right. Asoon uses Latin alphabet
for its consonants and Arabic Diacritics for its vowels. Arabic
diacritics (harakat) are invented 3 centuries after the Quran revelation in
order to eliminate wrong pronunciation during reciting of Quran. Arabic
diacritics are the most advanced type diacritics that could create a lesser
confusion for a reader. Asoon has used some of the original Arabic diacritics
and also added some new diacritics that are usually being used in Persian or
Arabic calligraphy. Asoon has also added some marks to some standard Latin
Alphabet to create new single shaped consonants.

2- Emphatic Consonants that pronounce heavier and stronger than their similar
Single Consonants. In Farsi, most of the time it is very difficult to
distinguish a sound between a Single Consonant and its Emphatic one, i.e. "فراق-Faragh"
or "فراغ-Faraghh". Also In Farsi language some words write in both ways, i.e.
"تهران-Tehran" or "طهران
-Tahran". In Asoon Alphabet for similarity, a Caron (wedge
shape mark) has been added on top of a Single Consonant to create an Emphatic
one. They are 7 characters: H^> Z^>
S^> D^> T^> A^> Q^.

3- Digraphic Consonants are when 2 letters run together
representing a new sound. Most of the time the Single Consonant is
followed by Letter "H". Six characters in Asoon alphabet follow that rule
and letter "H" is substituted by a "
%" (single dote) above the letter.
They are 6 characters: C "th",
| "ch", X "kh",
} "zh", { "sh",
< "dh".

4- Arabic Diacritics or Vowel signs are the most important part in
Asoon alphabet. They are connecting all the 3 above consonants to create a
single word to be pronounced as close as it gets to its original pronunciation. In Asoon Alphabet, each consonant can use different type
of diacritics to create all vowels needed for any specific language. For
Arabic and Farsi , there are 6 diacritics for vowels, one for null (voiceless)
consonant, one for doubling a consonant, and three called "Tanvins" that are
mostly used in Arabic language. For Japanese, there are 5 diacritics for
simple vowels, three for diphthongs (mixed vowels), and one diacritics for
voiceless "N".
